This paper deals with hazardous waste solidification /stabilisation, specifically neutralization sludge that comes from active industrial sources and neutralization sludge that comes from old ecological sources. As ...

Floods represent one of the greatest direct dangers of natural disasters in Europe. During floods, substantial material damage and often even losses of human life may occur. In the Czech Republic both of these were recorded ...

This work is focused on the possibilities of utilization of ashes from fluidized bed combustion, i.e. FBC ashes, for the manufacturing of hydraulic lime. Alternative hydraulic binders are becoming very popular in the present ...

This paper presents new results of the research of the influence
of individual input components done on the behaviour of cement
based composite materials exposed to high temperatures. A
new approach of this research lies ...

All conventional methods for the evaluation of grindability require a specific grinding instrument. These grinding instruments do not have any other practical use and thus are not very common. This paper focuses on the ...

The primary condition for manufacturing is the correct choice of raw
material, a suitable treatment facility, and a kiln capable of firing at temperatures above 1400
°C. This paper assesses some local raw materials for ...

The paper deals with the possibilities of utilization of alternative raw materials from
the textile industry for the production of vacuum insulation panels with extremely low thermal
conductivity value. The paper presents ...

Nowadays effort is made to study what effects may impact the environment and to address the issue of waste management. The majority of all waste produced is construction waste and demolition debris (approx. 65%). This ...

This research deals with the possibility of using hazardous waste in epoxy resinbased polymeric substances. More specifically, it is the use of neutralising galvanic sludge (NGS), which produces as a by-product in the ...

For commercially produced polymer systems, only primary raw materials are used
as fillers. These fillers are predominantly pure silica sand of various grading. The substitution
of primary materials with secondary raw ...

The paper deals with process of manufacturing the fibre-cement materials and methods of testing their climatic performance. Basic raw materials for production fibre-cement sheets are cement, cellulose fibers, reinforcing ...

Currently ternesite, Ca5(SiO4)2SO4, is used in the cement production, is one of two
key phases of calcium sulfoaluminate cement. Some investigators claim that this phase is nearly inert or very low reactive and it hydrates ...

The research presented in this article was focused on proving the effect of wood chips parameters on the hardening process of silicate matrix in cement-bonded particleboard. Namely content of humidity in the chips (in range ...

This paper studies how pozzolan materials can be mechanically activated. For this, two major grinding technologies and different types of artificial pozzolans, such as red brick dust, granulated blastfurnace slag and sheet ...

Four major clinker minerals, alite, belite, tricalcium aluminate and tetracalcium aluminate ferrite are crucial for cement properties. This work deals with alite as the most important clinker minerals. Alite is affected ...

The article deals with the influence of crystallisation additives on the life of self-compacting concrete (so-called SCC concrete) in case of exposure to aggressive gases. The effect of crystallization additives on the ...
